As an experienced International Tour Director and Tour Manager, I specialize in leading German-speaking and international groups throughout the United States and Canada. I am passionate about transforming every journey into an engaging and memorable experience through exceptional organization, storytelling, and genuine hospitality.
I have led multi-day escorted tours across Eastern Canada, including Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, and Québec City, as well as cultural and historical tours in Washington, D.C., New York City, Arlington, Mount Vernon, Alexandria, and Baltimore. My experience also includes educational student programs, VIP and incentive travel, customized private tours, and cruise shore excursions.
As a Tour Manager, I oversee every aspect of a trip—from airport arrivals and hotel check-ins to transportation logistics, daily schedules, and coordination with drivers, local guides, hotels, and attractions. I pride myself on solving challenges calmly and efficiently while ensuring every guest feels welcomed, safe, and well cared for.
With a background in executive logistics, hospitality, and international travel, I bring professionalism, flexibility, and strong leadership to every tour. Fluent in German and English, with native proficiency in Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, I enjoy connecting travelers with the history, culture, and local traditions that make each destination unique.
Whether guiding student groups, leisure travelers, VIP guests, or incentive programs, my goal is always the same: to create seamless, enriching, and unforgettable travel experiences that guests will remember long after the journey ends.
